It was a piano arrangement of Hikari no Senritsu, the opening song of Sora no Woto. <\/p>\n<p>Equipped with only a simple camcorder, I recorded my very first piano arrangement on my old upright piano which was in my parents&#8217; living room. Back then I was simply playing every single piece of music I would came across on the piano because I was able to play songs by ear.<br \/>\nBut one specific type of music had always fascinated me since my teenage years: Anime OPs and EDs. And therefore the idea was born: to create my own YouTube channel dedicated to Anime piano arrangements only. <\/p>\n<p>A lot of things have happened since then. I reached the 1 million subscriber milestone, one of my videos exceeded 50 million views, and I made arrangements of over 150 songs while gradually upgrading the audio equipment. Eventually, I started holding Animenz Live concerts all over the world where I had the opportunity to play live on the stage in front of my fans. It has truly been a fantastic time. <\/p>\n<p>And during these years, YouTube has also changed a lot. Anime piano channels came and went, the &#8220;stuck-on-301-views&#8221; bug has finally been purged and many new functions have been added.<br \/>\nBut even 10 years later, the core idea of this YouTube Channel &#8211; Animenz Piano Sheets &#8211; hasn&#8217;t changed at all: it is and it will always be about Anime piano arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>With the 10th anniversary around the corner, I knew exactly which song I would upload: &#8220;My Dearest&#8221; &#8211; the OP song of Guilty Crown. Because back in 2013, when I was having a dark time period in my life, this was the piece that showed me the possible future of Anime piano. It was an experiment, a prototype for a new type of music: By combining classical music elements with Japanese anime music, I have managed to create something new on my own.<br \/>\nWithout this piece, &#8220;Animenz&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t be what it is today. <\/p>\n<p>For this channel&#8217;s 10th Anniversary, I have decided to rearrange &#8220;My Dearest&#8221; by merging both the earlier 2013 arrangement with additional enhancements inspired by the original &#8220;My Dearest&#8221; song from Supercell. This new version serves as a culmination of everything I have learnt in the past 10 years of creating piano arrangements, starting from my 2011-2013 era when I was still using a lot of classical music references to the current 2017-2020 era with my own orchestral arrangement style. This is the definitive, final version of &#8220;My Dearest&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, I have also included a personal message for the listeners by adding the final Coda part at 6:58. This is my way to say &#8220;Thank you for these 10 years. Thank you for making my dream come true &#8211; by being an Anime pianist&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Well then, it is time to wrap things up.<br \/>\nBut before I go, there is one more thing I wanted to get off my chest: I want to dedicate this Anniversary video to all the people who have supported me during all these years: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to my parents who gave me the opportunity to choose my own path,<br \/>\n&#8211; to my piano teachers who cultivated my classical piano skills,<br \/>\n&#8211; to my friends and anime bros who I can always rely on in times of need,<br \/>\n&#8211; to TheIshter, a fellow Anime pianist and a lifetime good friend,<br \/>\n&#8211; to all the other Anime pianists on Youtube, who are contributing to the anime piano community on YouTube,<\/p>\n<p>and last but not least:<br \/>\nYou, dear watchers.<br \/>\nFor always watching my videos. And for always giving me your support. Thank you.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s to another 10 years of Anime piano on YouTube. <\/p>\n<p>Animenz<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<br \/>\nFollow me on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"770\" data-height=\"1000\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Animenzzz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tweets by Animenzzz<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nFollow me on Facebook!<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Animenz\/<br \/>\nI am using Instagram as well!<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/animenz_official\/<br \/>\n&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<br \/>\nPiano arrangement by Animenz<br \/>\nOriginal Song: My Dearest<br \/>\nAnime: Guilty Crown<br \/>\nPublished by: Sony Music Records<br \/>\nComposed by: ryo (supercell)<br \/>\nPerformed by: Koeda (supercell)<\/p>\n<p>#mydearest #guiltycrown #piano #\u30ae\u30eb\u30c6\u30a3\u30af\u30e9\u30a6\u30f3 #ryo #supercell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheet music \u2192 https:\/\/www.mymusicsheet.com\/animenzzz\/41478 Today is a very special anniversary.
